Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 459

She made herself clear, almost as if she spelled Edgar's name for him.Joseph sat down with a frown.

"Ms.Eyer, I believe you came here because you believe I will continue the investigation privately.I'm not dismissing the entire matter just because of the instructions I receive.I hope the criminals will be caught by the law’ Jean replied coolly,

"Officer Bunnings, I visited Gigi today, and she told me a lot of details about Sam.We are sincere about working together with you, but unexpectedly, you don't even have the intention."

With that, she started walking outside.

Joseph paused briefly before running after her.

"You know better than anyone who is behind this.I can't do anything about that."

Joseph clenched his fists.

"But he-"

"Thanks, but I need to rethink working with the police."

With a perfunctory smile, she left.

"Have I been played by her?"

Joseph wondered to himself.She uses the new evidence she found as bait, luring me to tell her that Edgar intercepted this case.

Late at night, the chandelier in the living room of Eyer Residence swayed due to the wind.

Jean was watching the latest news in the finance industry — Royden Group had just announced that they would be working with Pinnacle Group, with Edbert as the main person in charge of the upcoming project.

The project involved constructing a television tower in Bayview.

The partner company was Evergreen International, founded by Andy after leaving Royden Group.It was obviously a trap.

The public would observe the situation for a while before coming to a conclusion.

Some people decided to ride with the trend.

They couldn't wait to work with major groups like Royden Group and Pinnacle Group.

No matter how Jean looked at it, it was just a decoy to her.

Just then, the doorbell rang.She walked over to open the door and found Ben in front of her with a takeaway box.

"You haven't eaten, have you?" Jean hummed in agreement, inviting him into her house.She sniffed at the food aroma and flashed a wide smile.

"It's pizza from Mario's Place."

"Wow, you have a good sense of smell!" Ben exclaimed as he brought the takeaway into her house.

"Perfect timing.I've been craving this; Jean replied with a smile.She didn't have any appetite moments ago but felt like eating now.After opening the box and getting the cutlery, both sat comfortably in front of the coffee table.

The news was still airing on television.

"A few days ago, a gold mine was discovered to the west of Haymose Mountain Range, which belongs to.."

"It must be a fortune to excavate gold mines" she muttered to herself as she looked at the television.

Ben put a slice of pizza on her plate.

With a smile, he asked, "Why? Are you interested?"

Jean's visibility had been relatively high lately.

Even his friends wanted to have a glimpse at her, curious to see what the woman who ditched Edgar and revived her family business looked like.

"I don't have the capabilities to do so," she whined.

But Edgar does.

At that point, she had sufficient reasons to suspect that Edgar was plotting something, seeing how he allowed Edbert to take over and how he stopped the police from further investigating the case. He had been waiting for the perfect time to attack.

Would Edbert — that sly fox - take the bait? As she mulled it over, she felt slightly nauseous. She quickly gulped down a glass of water to alleviate the uneasiness.

Then, Ben poured another glass of water for her.

"By the way, a few days ago, Sonny sent a mail to me, telling me that he's going to lead a team to join a racing competition overseas, and he needs two racers. Are you interested?"

Jean was stunned to hear that.

"Of course I am, but I-"

I can't take part in any vigorous activities now.

She was worried that she might injure the baby if she became too emotional.She cherished this opportunity, so she didn't want to take any risk.

"Forget it.I don't think I can keep up with the new techniques."

With that, she went to the kitchen to prepare some fruits.

When she returned, Ben was on a call with Farra, who was ecstatic to know that Ben was with her.

"Ben, remember to keep her company.You don't have to worry about coming back.Just buy some nice food and have a nice conversation with her.Get it?"

"Mom!" Ben chastised exasperatedly.

"Alright, alright.I'll stop interrupting your time together"

With that, she hung up.Ben scratched his head as he tried to explain the situation to Jean.

"This is my Mom's personally.Don't take it seriously.I will let her know when the timing is right, There was still some hope in his eyes, but it extinguished as soon as he saw Jean's nonchalant smile.

She placed the fruits on the table and replied, "Don't worry about it."

She didn't say anything else, sounding like her usual self.

However, he felt slightly upset seeing her nonchalance.She really doesn't care at all.

"I have some business to discuss with you." She took out a proposal she had prepared.

"Sam is ruined now, but I found a few child companies under his relatives.

Apart from that, he also transferred a lot of money to his overseas bank."

"Are you planning to take all of that from him?"

He was shocked when he read the proposal.

"What an ambitious goal."

"But I'm not powerful enough, so I need to work with Ludwig Group"

Jean explained in a business-like tone.

"We can also try working with Oprah Group or Rothschild Group.From my research, Sam transferred his money to the bank in the vicinity of Rothschild Group"

She was implying that as long as the bait was alluring enough, it was not difficult to completely destroy Sam.

The further Ben read her proposal, the quieter he became.It was not just an illogical suggestion; instead, it was very plausible.

"We must also be careful about this.To avoid further complications, we need to make it seem like another person is behind this"

"Who?" Ben frowned.

Could she be thinking of Edgar? "Edbert, the main person in charge of Royden Group now"

Jean replied calmly, looking at the television.

The host was interviewing Edbert, sitting on a couch with a warm smile as though he was a kind grandfather.

Yet, many people had died at his hands.Ben immediately saw through the hatred in Jean's eyes. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Jean...

"I suspect Edbert took Gigi away from us and brought her to Sam years ago.He has been planning this for more than two decades."

Jean clenched her fists tightly to keep her calm.Ben was still at a loss, trying to digest what she had told him.

As the interview came to an end, he called his secretary.

"I need plane tickets for next week."
